介绍（中）	毗湿奴，在这里用他的绰号Narayana来指代，在神蛇舍沙上从睡梦中醒来，是婆罗门教伟大的创造神话之一。在这里，艺术家拉维·瓦尔马重新创造了叙事，展示了一位坐在宝座上的毗湿奴，与他的两位配偶拉克希米（Lakshmi）以及地球女神布代维（Bhudevi）（根据所遵循的传统）坐在一起。所有人都被描绘成年轻美丽，穿着华丽，珠光宝气，他们长袍的颜色反映在他们面前波光粼粼的海水中。他们共享的王座是由蛇Sesha的身体和五个带帽的头部组成的，它们拱在后面形成了一个皇家的华盖。毗湿奴展示了他的四个徽章，铁饼、海螺、棍棒和莲花。这是艺术家拉维·瓦尔马在他位于西高止山脉洛纳夫拉卡拉附近的石版印刷工作室制作的一系列大型神性图像之一，巩固了他在20世纪初这一流派中领先艺术家的地位。
介绍（英）	Vishnu, here referred to by his epithet Narayana, aroused from his slumber on the divine serpent Shesha is one of the great creation myths of Brahmanism. Here the artist Ravi Varma has reinvented the narrative, displaying an enthroned Vishnu, seated regally with his two consorts, Lakshmi and, depending on the tradition being followed, the Earth goddess Bhudevi, or Sarasvati. All are depicted as young and beautiful, and richly dressed and bejeweled, the colors of their robes reflected in the shimmering waters before them. The throne that they share is formed by the body of the serpent Sesha and the five-hooded head arching behind to form a royal canopy. Vishnu displays his four insignia, the discus, conch, club and lotus. This is one of a series of large scale images of divinities that the artist Ravi Varma produced at his lithographic press studio near Karla, Lonavla in the Western Ghats that consolidated his position as the leading artist in this genre at the beginning of the 20th century.
